Advanced Practice Nursing Specialty Assembly

Advanced practice nursing has been described as nursing's final frontier. That statement, while sounding like a cliché, is an excellent descriptor for this expanding field that holds such interest and promise.

The role of the APN is multifaceted including leadership, research, practice, mentorship and collaboration (the five pieces of the puzzle), all with the intended goal of providing the patient increased access to medical care while connecting all the pieces of the puzzle to holistically insure that all the needs of the patient are met.
